If things aren't going well ...

1 in 4 people experience mental ill health at some time in their lives. This doesn't make you a "psycho" or mean you are "sick". There are many things in life which can cause people to feel angry, upset, or depressed:

• Loneliness
• Family break-ups
• Breaking up with boyfriend or girlfriends
• Arguments with friends
• Moving house
• Stress at school or work
• Bullying
• Unemployment
• Domestic abuse
• Money problems
• Bereavement

Some LGBT people may also experience:

• Bottling feelings up inside
• Trouble with "coming out"
• Losing friends and family
• Homophobia or transphobia
• Difficulty coming to terms with sexuality or gender identity

It's not just the individual who is affected by mental illness, but family and friends too. If someone close to you is experiencing mental ill health, make sure you get support too.
